ROLLER SCREW DRIVEN ACTUATORS OFFER HIGH THRUST

1 min read

Curtiss-Wright has announced the expansion of its Exlar FT SeriesTM universal electric rod style linear actuator product line with the release of the FT45 model.

As well as high thrust, FT Series roller screw driven actuators offer high speed, and high robustness in a compact form factor, making them an ideal alternative to hydraulic cylinders.With continuous force rating to 178 kN, speed of 1,500mm/sec and stroke lengths from 150mm to 2,400mm, the FT Series can be applied across a wide range of linear motion applications.

The new FT45 has a continuous force rating of 44.5 kN, filling the gap between the existing FT35 and FT60 models.The FT45 features key enhancements over the existing FT Series frame size designs, including a minimum environmental protection rating of IP65; Idler pulley design that greatly simplifies motor installation; and belt tensioning/maintenance fitting, which allows re-greasing of nut assembly without having to disassemble the unit. There is also a removable front seal bushing design, which greatly simplifies front seal maintenance and replacement.

The products are available in Britain from Olsen Engineering UK
